New Seagraves

First batch of KME Engines came in June 2014 to companies depending on when companies received them they could be kp14001 and up and units after July 2014 they were kp15001 and so on. So they are approaching 11 years in service

Aren't majority of the KMEs not up for replacement for a few more years?

So far (if my count is correct), there should be 41 KMEs up for replacement, but the 2013 and 2014 Seagraves are up first, along with the Squads. I wouldn't expect any KMEs to be replaced for the next two or three Years.
 
How'd you guys like the KMEs? They were built locally to me until just recently and there are a lot around me. Howeve, Pierce seems to be taking everyone's local business of late.

Near me it feels like everyone is going with E-One, Ferrara, and Spartan. And then there's North Arlington staying with KME
 
Scranton City is diehard Sutphen, having just placed an order for 2 new engines from them after getting a 100' stick, Tower ladder, engine and heavy rescue from them in the last few years. Almost everyone else is Pierce with close to 20 different pieces in the area either delivered or on order.

According to a post from someone that was at the Fire Bell meeting there is 41 regular Seagrave engines on order, as well as squads and High Pressure engines. I cant remember the number of squads or HP on order, but 41 stuck out to me.

I dont know what exactly is up for replacement prior to the KMEs, but to my knowledge none of the 2013+ Seagraves have been replaced, which would make the current number of engines up for replacement somewhere around 63 if my numbers are correct. (Or will be approaching 63 in the coming months)
